Emperor Aviation Malta has added a Citation XLS, a Global Express XRS and a brand new Global 5000 Vision to its managed fleet. The aircraft will not be available for charter.

“The new additions proved to be very reliable so far, from all points of view," says CEO and accountable manager Razvan Stefan. "We are now running worldwide operations on our AOC. We have had a change of accountable manager over the last 12 months and have seen a number of new fleet additions. The biggest challenge we are facing in aviation today is to find proper manpower and the right characters, at all levels of the company: crew, CAMO, ground ops and flight ops."

Five further aircraft additions are planned for 2019, including three Gulfstream G650s and two Legacy 650.
